Manufacturer whom Capper knows, &
who dined at Q.S.P. the day Capper
dined there. In the Manufactories in
the neighbourhood of Manchester is to
be seen a variety of mechanism. Farr
was telling me t'other day of a man
with an odd name who had in a
short time made a matter of 50,000£
in that neighbourhoodby the invention of machines for abridging
labour. The mines in Derbyshire,
and the manufactories
at Birmingham, would then be in the
way to London.
Q.S.P. when they went to Scotland
paid for Postchaises for 1100
mile, which came to I don't know
whether it was £50 or 70 Lb £. This
would not be quite so many miles,
but as there has been a tax since
of I think it is 1 1/2 or 2 d a
mile, we will say it would come
to 60£. Thus for two Post-chaises
would be £120. I am afraid
there must be something of a Swiss
servant to dress hair, who would ride
in one of the chaises as the is,
except when one came to a
great house, then he must ride
post thither and from thence. This
say would make it £130. Two
guineas a day for travelling expences
for two months 60 guineas
allowing 7 pound for extra expences
that would make it £200. If it would be ten
weeks so much the better. While the
Sneaks were examining mines & manufactures
the Princess would be reposing in her
sweet
---page break---
sweet person. If S could be prevailed
upon to trust the said person to the
sea the whole expence might be
brought within £300: and in coming
at least that way they would probably
save time. If an additional £100
could be obtained they might return by
land in the winter, which they should
do by way of Sweden. There there
would be a great deal in the chemical
& mine way to be seen. This way
Capper says is rather cheaper than
the other. An English carriage bought
second hand at Tattersals at £40 or £50 would
make a great figure during the
journey, & even at Petersburgh on
the return.
The Princess would doubtless be
wild for all this, and £200 a piece
supplied by her two rich friends will
do the business.
I take for granted the ordinary
revenue would suffice for a fortnights
stay in town, to see the Opera house
the Play-houses, the Pantheon, the
Wax-works, the Lions.
Neither Basingstoke ( the Drs abode)
nor Whitchurch, humble as the appearance
of things is there should be passed by unvisited:
the expectations will reconcile
her Highness to the humiliation. A
pilgrimage should also be made to
Browning-hill, to visit the dead Ancestors:
more especially as I understand
that estate is intended to be yours.
Was there ever a prettier scheme
cut out upon paper?
